Tutorial
Set up protection on your new Mac
Four short steps to put your protection on a new Mac, using the personal setup page Michael sends you.
You will need the password you use to log in to your Mac, and your personal setup page from Michael. It has your download button and two setup codes.
Do this first: download and run the installer
- On your personal setup page, click Download the installer. A file called HuntressAgent.pkg lands in your Downloads folder.
- Double-click HuntressAgent.pkg, then click Continue and Install. Type your Mac password if it asks.
- When it asks for two codes, copy each one from your personal setup page and paste it in: the Account key, then the Organization key.
Click Allow, top to bottom
- A setup window opens by itself with five lines. Click the blue button on each line as it unlocks, from the top down: Allow on most of them, Enable on the network filter.
- Your Mac will ask for your password and may open System Settings along the way. Turn on the switch for Huntress there, then come back to the setup window.
- If you see System Extension Blocked, click Open System Settings, then Privacy & Security, and click Allow.

Finish
When every line shows a green check and it says Successfully Configured, click Finish. Then text Michael "done" and he will confirm your Mac is protected.
Did this not sort it out?
Tell Michael which step you got to and what the screen says. A photo of the screen from your phone is perfect.
